Would this work for trimming pampas grass?

Mine cuts 1/4 inch privet hedge twigs and branches. I can't imagine pampas grass being a problem.

As long as the main stalks are quite sturdy and you allow the blades to do their job and cut rather than forcing them and causing it to tear and rip it should work fine. for the more grassy style leaves, no.

Yes it will, if you use the grass blade. It will do fine. You will have to sit down and scoot along as you cut. The hedge trimmer blade is also good but only on the lightest of hedge growth. I expected it to be quite a bit more powerful than it is. That was disappointing. I hope that helps.

NOT recommended. This unit is meant for grass and such thinner bladed plants. It does not cut heavier branch types. You could trim off tomato leaves but not the large branches for which pruning shears would work much better. I would be afraid that attempting to cut woody branches might spring the blades and ruin the tool. My neighbor and I have both used my new unit to trim around flower beds, etc., cutting lighter grasses and weeds and consider it most useful and real back-saver. We keep the blades cleaned and hinge oiled with WD 40 after each use so it will be ready for next summer.

I love this tool, but it is not my first choice for the grass problem you describe. Those grass roots radiate about 5 inches out from the clump, and you will have to cut through those roots all the way around and underneath the clump to get them out. A tool like a heavy duty serrated knife works better -- and much faster.

Well, it can cut but it would not be as efficient as a proper machete... it works best as a shovel and could be used to chop through wood, but in a jungle situation it just would not be efficient enough.... I don't think. I use it for backpacking as a poop shovel, biodegradable diaper shovel, sod remover for fire pits....

Yes it would, used this to fence my garden and used the trimmings to make a trellis system for my snow peas and cucumbers

If you want to just trim the grass you should be okay. If you have to get down to the roots where dirt is, that tends to keep the tool from cutting as well.

Yes it would. I use it mostly to level out cut logs on one side so I can cut them into bowl blanks on my bandsaw, but I have used it to remove bark, it makes quick work of it.

It will cut through the stuff like butter yet the length is not quite what you would desire. A long machete would be better served for clearing a path. I do not want to take away from an amazing tool though. I tend to use this more for chopping and splitting or clearing a small area for a camp or rest.

It should work just fine andif you make it a habbit of using this before you mow you will save you blades.

Not really; I just used it 2 days ago on 'light' fall droppings, & emptied it 3 times (less than 1/4 acre of leaves). I'm also not sure how it would work on grass clippings (I doubt it would do much of a good job)But I LOVE IT for leaves... :-)

I am pretty confident it will, but I have never done it. I've used it mostly for cutting down small trees and brush and it works really well for that.

It depends on the trimmer. You have to look and see if your trimmer model is supported. I have an Echo trimmer and these work well on it. They cut through grass nicely, but wear down pretty quick.

I don't think so. I purchased for my mom for Christmas, and she finally tried it this spring on the grass in the small back yard. She was not happy, said it had difficulty cutting the grass. Then, I could not return it.

It should fit, I am using that blade on 2 larger Echo trimmers. In heavy grass it or brush it may a bit short on power, but for general use it should work just fine. It cuts just as well as a larger string diameter. It does throw the cuttings all over so dress correctly and use eye protection.

We use ours to cut Bermuda Grass which it does fine. My wife who is the turf expert thinks it would cut St. Augustine if you did it on a regular basis, and didn't let it grow tall and out of control. It works well for a small area.

The 9210 Fiskar Grass Shears is too lightweight to cut woody stuff, but I'm sure a heavier model must exist. Sorry I don.t know - I could use one myself !! Neville Dean.
